Jack’s Barn

When Jack acquired the property the barn was in pretty rough shape.  The floor was rotten and he had to remove a baler by connecting a chain and carefully hauling it out using a tractor positioned outside the building.  The floor could not take the weight of both tractor and baler.  He rebuilt the barn and it is now a stout and immaculate building ready to stand for another 100 years.  Kit the horse uses the basement living quarters which open onto the field in the background.

Jack is skilled in a remarkable spectrum of life tasks.

AGO

My first visit to the Art Gallery of Ontario.  Embarrasing to admit, after growing up an hour away and visiting Toronto as many times as I have over the years.

Resting

What a marvellous place!  The original building and the recent addition by Frank Gehry are themselves works of art.

Art Deco?

Two ground floor windows in the old Belmont Hotel building are octagonal.

Art Deco Windows

Would this qualify as an example of Art Deco architecture?

Pergola

As part of the Waterfront Development Project  fundraising, a pergola was built.

Pergola I

Pergola II

The structure is a meeting and resting place for those visiting the waterfront features.  The leaves commemorate the people of North Bay.

It is an interesting gateway to the wonders of North Bay’s Waterfront.
